The old building was pretty, and I think the apartments in it were relatively cheap. It's too bad that they timed demolition wrong -- it would have been good for the building to have stayed up for the last 3 or 4 years.
Oh well. It's gone now, and that was going to be a great spot for a 30+ story building sooner or later.
Also: 323 units, 324 parking spaces? That must be exactly matching the parking minimum -- presumably one parking space per unit, plus one for the 3200 foot retail area. But I thought parking minimums had been relaxed in areas near transit -- is 8th and Seneca not in a no-parking-minimum transit zone?
